      Dan Frederiksen I know it probably makes no sense to argue with a person like you, but I just can't help myself.
      First of all, things you just wrote are totally irrelevant to this video and also to this comment you replied to... Anyways, how in the world CAN you compare pedophilia to LGBT+ community? Please explain that to me. Pedophilia is a crime, it often comes with sexual abuse and assault over kids who have no power to say what they want or not. That is what sick means. How can a sickness be loving or having feelings towards someone while not hurting or abusing them? Please don't ever compare people who are going to assault or abuse or make you uncomfortable to the people who have mutual feelings, love each other or to the people who wanna make their skin a place they feel like themselves. Who to love or how to feel is never a choice.
      You can go with the medical facts all night long, it's such a lame argument that homophobia loves to use. HIV is a problem, maybe it is common around some gay men, true, but it is not something gay people are guilty of, God, it's a virus that is spread and caused by so many factors long time ago. We all should fight against HIV like against any other illness.
      Overall, I just wanna know few things since you clearly have something against LGBT+ community. What is your solution then, to put gay people in churches until they're cured?
      You want them to live the unhappy life, you wanna maybe somehow accidentally fall in love and marry a girl who's pretending to love you back even she is incapable of that?
      Yeah that would be such an amazing world...

    I came out to my mom a while back and she.. didn't react as well as I thought she would. We don't talk about it unless she's telling me how she wants me to find a boyfriend and stop dressing like a boy. I've tried to send her videos and tell her that I'm not going down this crazy path that would make me unhappy but she wouldn't watch or listen. I sent her this (idk why she decided to actually watch this time)and she came into my room crying and telling me she's going to change for me... I'm shaking. thank you, ​Shannon.

    This video is amazing, The moment i was done watching it, i copied the link and posted it to my Facebook with the following
    "To me this video is so important. When someone trust you enough to open up about who they love or who they are, its important to let them know that that doesn't change anything and that you still care about them. This one detail is so small, its only one part of who you are. It does not define you. I want everyone in my life to know, that I will always be here to listen whenever you need and that no matter what you are loved."
    Thank you for making this.

      To be honest many people likely may never have a happy relationship or "come out" when they're still with their families because of pressure from the older generations or judgement or the environment (like religious/rural/conservative small towns)
      I think the phrase 'come out' is negative. It should just be a way of life.

    When I was 15, I told my parents “I think I’m bisexual. My dad took it really well and said that nothing really changed for him. My mom on the other hand told me she felt sorry for me because people still harass lgbt people and it would have been so much easier if I just found a man. She said it like she now had a dysfunctional kid
    Today I’m 17 and I know I’m gay. I’m really scared to tell them because even tho I has been two years I still don’t feel comfortable talking about lgbt with them.
    Over the past year my mom has been making comments about how the clothes I like to wear because they don’t fit the typical female picture and she even asked me if I wanted to be a boy. This actually really hurt my feelings because even tho it was thoughtful of her to ask just in case, she should not make assumptions about gender based on something as simple as clothing. I told her I just liked boy-ish clothing but that this doesn’t mean someone wants to be a boy.
    Even though I have been struggling with my sexuality and coming out to myself, one thing I always knew for sure was that I was and am a girl.
    Whenever my mom brings up any subject around sexuality I just avoid it .
    Because I told my parents I thought I was bi, they usually just assume I will end up with a man and constantly ship me with my best friend (who’s a guy).
    As I said before I’m scared to tell my parents I’m gay, I hope that in time they will understand more and more.
    Meanwhile I have a huge crush on my friend who is bisexual (and a girl *no shit* ) and we hold hands sometimes :))
    Your videos have really helped me come to terms with my sexuality, keep creating such amazing content and I hope I will soon find the courage to come out to my parents (again) :)
    Update: the girl I have a crush on asked me to be her girlfriend today, I said yes :)

    I’m so excited to go to the Dallas pride this Sunday, and it’ll be my first pride ever.
    I came out to my mom in March, and she didn’t take it well. I don’t want to blame her for the way she reacted because it was so new and shocking to her, especially with the distance between us and the cultural differences we are experiencing.
    A lot of parents are scared for their kids, because most times we do need to fight for ourselves to get what other people can get easily. I know my mom still loves me, and I understand it might take awhile for her to know that I am still who I am, if not better. But I’m hopeful for the future.
    To the ones who are going through similar struggles, please be brave. You deserve to be who you are and to love who you want to love.

    I came out 2 or 3 months ago to my parents (and about 3-4 to my closest friends). My parent's reaction was pretty good compared to what I expected. My mom specially seemed disapointed and hurt, but it was a matter of 3-4 days after, that they started to understand it more and more, and now they fully support who I am. Nothing has changed, and they still love me no matter what. Btw, I love when they ask questions, it doesn't make me feel unomfortable at all, it shows me how interested they are into understanding what's going on and who I am.
    If you haven't came out yet, don't worry, you're not alone. It does get better. If you need someone to talk to at any moment you can write me.

    This video explains it all, its well put together and a really good example. Parents should love you no matter what, just because you're gay, bi, trans etc. it doesn't make you any different and if you're that child that doesn't have accepting parents or family members, its not your fault at all, its their loss to love you and your an amazing person and even more awesome because you built the courage to come out to them. No matter what you should always love your children, no matter what the situation

    I remember when I came out.my mom was out of town and I told my dad his reaction was great but when I told my mom I felt like I disappointed her because I am also atheist I remember crying on my bed a few months after and she walked in and told me she knew I was gay since I was little .I would have been able to come out and have those experiences if it were not for you Shannon thank you so much

    Content like this is so important to make. Obviously coming out is an adjustment for the individual, what we forget is that it is also an adjustment for the family. I wish everyone could have parents and I family that no matter what adjustments they go through they still love one another, I know everyone is not so fortunate.
    I just love this as a reminder to the families that their child is still exactly who they raised them and believe them to be.

    This video / story is so inspirational... it is beautiful. There are so many incredible / brave people in this film. They are helping so many people to come out or feel less alone. The videography in this video fits so well with the individual stories being told. Everyone is unique and so are their coming out stories. Each and every coming out is scary... this may never change but now there is so much support for people. Including this film. Love is love... it never changed!

    Wow this honestly could not have come at a better time for me, I literally just broke down to my dad because I feel so low and a huge part of that is because of my sexuality. After seeing how much he wanted to help me I think I'm going to come out to him and possibly also my mum tomorrow. I've never been so terrified in my entire life but seeing this and knowing that other people have gone through the exact same thing makes me feel a lot less alone so seriously thank you so much to everyone in this and who helped create it ❤❤

    The people on this video speaking your truths and sharing with us, thank you. I feel blessed to get to see what you went through and sometimes still do. Myself personally I struggled for years with I am Bi, I like guys, no I like girls, no I like both, then I realised just be ME. I came out to a friend first and her response was "AND", her reaction was just like "so what are we doing this weekend". She already knew and just supported me and told me you are the same person you were 5 seconds ago, same person I have always been and that we should then get me on some dating apps lol. Family were the same as long as I am happy they don't care who I date.
    My uncle is gay and growing up that was the norm for me, so I always knew my family would support me. Any questions I would always go to my uncle and his husband or my parents.
    This video is just amazing and I can't wait to see what you do next Shannon. Your just...... great!

    After having hardest moments during my coming out with my mom, it is very supportive to watch such movie. May the world change once and parents will be more prepared to our coming outs.
    It's heartbreaking that kids and parents lose each other because parents say "I will never understand and accept. I won't even try and stop talking about it, it's unpleasant". Ans kids will never forgive that ignorance of the reality and also their feelings.
    Save god these parents who find enough love to not to fight the unknown things instead of explore them.

    this video is insanely good. it describes so much of what i’m scared of/feeling, and knowing that i’m not alone if my family doesn’t react lovingly, is an amazing thought. i know that they won’t be easy to tell but this just reassures me that if they don’t react how i want them to that it’ll be okay. people leave and things change but there will always be people that make you feel safe and welcome whether they’re real family or not

    I have no words to describe how amazing this video is. @Shannon, thanks! I cry a lot watching it. It's been 3 years since I told my family, and listening to these experiences I was able to go back to that moment. Now things are fine, but at the time, the process was difficult. What words would I have liked to hear from my mother at that time? "You have my support, I love you very much and you have my support." Incredibly, those were the words of my Pastor, even if it was not the feeling of the rest of the church ...

    I never clicked sooooo fast , god I love this video . If only my father saw this and was able to understand this and understand me . He thinks I’m this way because of him , to get at him is what I think ,by the way he words everything , the day I came out to him . Coming out to my mom was the most amazing thing but sadly she can’t help me anymore . I honestly believe I’m going to show my father this video , it may help him see how this all is and how I am . I love this video and everyone in it , I know we now have so many known people out but I still adore videos like this that really show the feelings to it all especially with coming out to a parent and the fear . Also the want of nothing to change , to still have the love and support from them that doesn’t all stay the same after coming out .

    I love how you emphasized the importance of saying, “I love you.” Because when I came out, my mom asked a lot of questions and made a lot of comments. She was so confused, caught off guard and almost upset, all of which I expected. But she said she loved me and that was all I needed. I didn’t need her to understand or to be okay with it right away. She has since come around and is much more open.
